Referring to my telegram of the 18th instant

The Viceroy has received Imperial Edict and has expressed his readiness to negotiate.

I have strong reasons for believing that

negotiations will be expedited if they are conducted

while Scott is still Consul General at Canton and that

effective co-operation is much more likely between

Scott and Ross than between Scott and Bland, who the

Corporation now proposes should negotiate.

Please press the Corporation to allow Ross

to continue to act in this matter for so long at any

rate as Scott remains Consul General.
